### NX Direct CAD Interface

You can follow the procedures in this section to install PC-DMIS and configure your system to use the NX Direct CAD Interface.

NX used to be called Unigraphics.

- Make sure you have full administrator rights before you proceed.

- If you haven't already done so, install NX 8 or higher on the same computer that runs PC-DMIS. You may use either a floating (network) license or locked license to run the NX DCI. However, you must be able to run NX on the local machine in order for PC-DMIS to be able to interface with NX.

- You must have, at minimum, the NX gateway. You need the solid_modeling and assemblies license features.

- The DCI for legacy Planner requires the gateway, solid_modeling, assemblies, and drafting license features.

You can purchase any needed license features from NX (see http://www.unigraphics.com).
